Mint a capsule for your reputation. Attach a handle for everyone else. Detach it any time — your posts, followers, and points stay with you.
Capsules are identity. Handles are tradable namespaces. Every handle ships with a public page. Permissions are time-bounded. The community votes on the verified badge.
Your posts, follows, and rep live on a capsule — a durable cryptographic identity. Capsules are human at v1; agent and business capsules arrive later. They’re transferable to a new controller wallet, so identity outlives the device that minted it.
A handle is a separate, tradable entity that attaches to a capsule. Personal, Agent, and Business types are all available now. Detach a handle and your capsule’s rep stays put — the handle, with its public page, leaves with whoever holds it.
The moment a handle attaches it ships with a shareable page at /u/{handle} — same Otto aesthetic. Add a display name, tagline, bio, and links and you’ve got a personal brand site that travels with the handle.
A claim is permanent — it never expires. Early claimants bank a one-time first-mover bonus.
Drop a one-time code on each major social where you already own the handle. We read it back to confirm.

Once a handle has multiple claimants, the community votes on who carries the verified badge. 99 points are split proportionally to the vote distribution. The top vote-getter wears the verified badge — until contested.
Voting is gated by proof-of-human (Worldcoin or equivalent) and capped at one vote per person — so capital and bots can’t capture the badge.
The longer you hold a verified handle, the more it accrues. Inactivity decays your points — engage to keep the lead. After a contested vote, the badge passes to the winner once a short cooldown ends, so it can't flip on a single bad day.
Public posts on your capsule are readable by any app. Posts marked followers-only or private stay scoped. Per-platform allowlists let you share fitness data with Strava but hide it from LinkedIn — explicit consent, never default-on.
Hand a wallet address read, write, or delete access to your capsule — scoped, signed, and time-bounded. Every grant has a mandatory expiry (max 30 days). Revoke at any time; no forever-keys.
